The present invention provides glycated Amadori products of the CD59 peptide and fragments thereof to be used as tools and among methods for the diagnosis and prognosis of pre-diabetes and diabetes. Certain aspects of the invention include glycated Amadori products of CD59 and fragments thereof to be used for the generation of antibodies and antibody fragments. Still other aspects of the invention include methodologies for the preparation of glycated Amadori products of CD59, fragments thereof, the inventive antibodies, and antibody fragments.

The present invention relates to the pharmaceutical use of FAM19A5 involved in regulating gliogenesis, and more specifically, to the use of FAM19A5 in the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of central nervous system injuries, degenerative brain diseases, or central nervous system diseases, FAM19A5 being spread in the neural stem cells in vertebrates and regulating gliogenesis.

Antibodies that bind to AXL protein and variants thereof are described herein. AXL exhibits a distinct and limited expression pattern in normal adult tissue(s), and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers listed in Table I. Consequently, the MAbs of the invention provide a diagnostic composition for the treatment and management of cancer.

Provided are anti-CD8 antibodies that bind human CD8 and do not stimulate or inhibit the activation of CD8.sup.+ T cells. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding such anti-CD8 antibodies, vectors comprising such nucleic acids, host cells comprising same, and methods of making such anti-CD8 antibodies. Also provided are anti-CD8 antibodies conjugated to a detectable label. Provided are methods of using such anti-CD8 antibodies to detect CD8.sup.+ T cells in a subject, monitor disease progress in a subject having cancer, and monitor treatment progress in a subject having cancer.

This invention relates to inhibition of the complement signaling using an anti-C5a antibody. Specifically, the invention relates to methods of treating a complement-mediated disease or complement-mediated disorder in an individual by contacting the individual with an anti-C5a antibody.

Provided are antibodies that specifically bind to TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains, WUCAM or Vstm3) and inhibit Tigit-mediated cellular signaling and activities in immune cells. The anti-TIGIT antibodies can be used to treat or diagnose cancer, infectious diseases or other pathological disorders that may be modulated by Tigit-mediated functions.

Provided herein are novel CLDN6 binding domains, and anti-CLDN6×anti-CD3 antibodies that include such CLDN6 binding domains. Also provided herein are methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of CLDN6-associated cancers.

Provided herein are isolated antibodies or antibody fragments thereof that immunospecifically bind to platelet factor 4 (PF4). In some embodiments the isolated antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof comprise a light chain CDR and framework region comprising SEQ ID NO: 4 and a heavy chain CDR and framework region comprising SEQ ID NO: 10. Also provided herein are methods for treating heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and methods for reducing the likelihood that subject will become afflicted with HIT. Further disclosed are uses of the isolated antibodies or antibody fragments in the treatment of HIT or the manufacture of compositions for the treatment of HIT.

The present disclosure is directed to antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, having binding specificity for the S protein of coronaviruses (CoV-S), such as the S protein of the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV-S) and/or the S protein of the SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2-S), including neutralizing antibodies and antibodies that bind to and/or compete for binding to the same linear or conformational epitope(s) on CoV-S. Further disclosed are conjugates of anti-CoV-S antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. Methods of making said anti-CoV-S antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof are also contemplated. Other embodiments of the disclosure include the use of anti-CoV-S antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, for the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with coronaviruses, or the S protein thereof, and conditions where neutralization or inhibition of coronaviruses, or the S protein thereof, would be therapeutically and/or prophylactically beneficial.

The present invention provides antibody polypeptides with binding specificity for prostate specific antigen (PSA), wherein the antibody polypeptide comprises (a) a heavy chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2 and SEQ ID NO:3 and/or (b) a light chain variable region comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:4 and SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:6, and wherein the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region comprise framework amino acid sequences from one or more human antibodies. The invention further provides use of said antibody polypeptides in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
